I really like the ease of opening. It is comfortable in you pocket. Gotten to the point I don't feel it anymore. Really like the design of the finger holds. Allows you to cut tough materials without losing grip. My only complaint is that the wire belt clip bends easily if it gets caught on something. Being in construction I am climbing on and in between things all the time. I have had the belt clip get caught multiple times and bend. Finally it broke. The other knives I own usually come out of my pocket if they get caught without bending the belt clip. If this knife had a stronger belt clip it would get five stars. What is worse is that the package says lifetime guarantee but you have to send it to a warranty center which will cost more than what a new one costs. If you order a clip it is a $1.90 for the clip plus $5 service fee plus shipping- really?

After a short time the blade retaining pin DOESN'T!! AND THE BLADE BEGINS TO SLIDE OUT WHILE TRYING TO CUT. I have tried to blow it out with air hose just in case it is dirty, nope just worn out. I am on my 3rd replacement in 1 year. That cant be profitable 4 Milwaukee.

I'm an apprentice electrician. I use the knife all the time. It's one of those tools you always have on you. I've had mine for over a year and a half now so I guess it doesn't really owe me anything but I've had the screws fall out on me a couple of times. This time one is gone for good.

The knife itself works great, however the screws are a pain as they loosen with use and when loose prevent the knife from closing smoothly. If it came with a package of extra screws it would be wonderful. Definitely using lock tight on my next fastback knife.

I search for quality & craftsmanship in almost all products I buy, rarely do I write reviews unless I feel a product truly deserves it. I'm a cabinet installer, I've tried most knives available and use them for altering and carving panels, shimms, stock, trim, moldings etc.. This knife fills the niche wonderfully, best precision and control I've seen, when I'm up on the step ladder setting my cabinets I can operate it w/ one hand unlike other knives. Also, I prefer this model over the Fastback2 because it's thinner, and I can wield it w/ more precision for those fine cuts.

i have had this knife for over a year now. with many times using it. i have found now that over the last 2 months the release button tends to get stuck alot. requires a bit of force to get it down. my knife is not rusty. still in great condition. this is the only flaw with this knife.was used in a warehouse. i like to use gold blades with it. they tend to last longer then traditional blades.

My father in-law and his friend were dry walling the basement suite and were using a couple of sad looking utility knives. I pulled this little beauty out and started slicing up some boards. What a difference. I think they went out and each bought one after I left the next day.

I use this at work on a daily basis. I've enjoyed the ergonomic shape and easy changing of blades. I flip it open dozens of times a night at work and its been great. I think the blade change is the best feature. A lot of expensive DeWalt and Lenox knives are a pain to load a blade in, this knife takes about 3 seconds to do it safely and it locks in nicely.

The only problem I've encountered is the lint from my pocket clogs the opening bearing. Even after oiling it still has to be opened by hand now. But it lasted over a year before that cloged. The knife is still excellent.

Two things I think should be changed:Make the belt clip stronger. My first one didn't last a year before the thin wire hook snappedEliminate the gut hook. I never use it and it snags on the material when cutting with the blade out. But overall I like it and keep it on my belt

I use my knife in a warehouse, opening pallets wrapped in shrink wrap. I'm flipping open my knife about 100 times a night, and I have found that doing so has made the screws come loose that hold the blade in, I even lost one. For me the wire stripper only gets caught on the shrink wrap, along with the extra little piece of metal that sticks out at the bottom of the blade holder. I would be happier with a smooth blade holder base. On the up side, I love the weight of the knife, and the all metal design. I don't have to worry about it breaking if I was to drop it. I have had this problem in the past with other knives.

I have used many different folding utility knives and this is by far the best. I have had this one and used it every day, all day and have had no problems with it. Fits in hand very nicely, really is one hand open, built really well. Easy to change the blade and it's not a flimsy mechanism like others. I am rough on this thing every day and it never gives up. Get one!

I've moved to folding knives to save room in my tool pouch, and this has been my favorite knife! However, one thing I would change is adding a guard to the blade release button. As an electrician, I commonly hold the knife in my right hand, thumbs up sign sideways, with the knife towards and above my thumb to strip down the side of large cables. But my index finger almost always releases the blade in the process, causing the blade to pop out while I'm stripping the cable. I love the quick opening ability of this knife, and feel while it's in use. Good knife, but would love a raised guard around that release button!

ALMOST IN EVERYTHING I DO, FROM OPENING BOXES, PLASTIC BAG OF PRODUCTS, OPENING APLIANCES, FRIDGES, ALL KINDS OF THEM, TO OPEN AIR CONDITIONING UNITS OUT OF THE BOX, WHEN RETILING FLOORS, WHEN CUTTING SHEET ROCK, WHEN REATTACHING NET TO WINDOW AND DOOR SCREENS. IT WORKS PERFECT WHEN CUTTING EDGES, I EVEN USE IT TO ADJUST DOOR STRIKERS, SO FAR ALL THE PEOPLE I WORK WITH AFTER PURCHASING AND EXCHANGING THEIR KNIVES FOR A FEW TIMES HAVE DECIDED TO GET A MILWAUKEE. GREAT LOOK FOR A PRO.

After a short time the blade retaining pin DOESN'T!! AND THE BLADE BEGINS TO SLIDE OUT WHILE TRYING TO CUT. I have tried to blow it out with air hose just in case it is dirty, nope just worn out. I am on my 3rd replacement in 1 year. That cant be profitable 4 Milwaukee.

Award winning looks and style. Easy to operate with one hand for the most part. The problem I have is with the small "eyeglass" type screws that encase the blade. Ocassionally the screws back out causing the blade to jam between the casing. Additionally, when the screws back out, it prevents the knife from swinging back to the fully closed position. This is one of the few Milwaukee tools that I would have a hard time recommending to anyone until there is an updated and better operating version.

I walked right into my local wholesaler and bought 3 of them, they all still keep going. Just need more blades, maybe Milwaukee could sell an item that will hold be a 100 milwaukee utility blade dispensor that is magnetic like the bit holder.

Love the knife! very handy to use, opens with one hand! I use it every day, but the one thing that really bothers me is that the main hinge screw has come out and of other people that I know that have this knife. and the rest of the screws come loose and then the knife wont close. But I like it so I have but some Loc Tight Blue on them and that has helped!! now the belt hanger is starting to break!! I guess that I need to get me another one!! I gave one to my brother in law for Christmas!

This knife is solid and simple. It feels great in the hand and is easy to open and close. The bright red helps with safety too. The open/close lock is a big plus. I really like knowing it won't open by mistake.I use this knife at work where I am employeed by a major building supplier.

I work in a hardware store. This knife gets a real workout every day and keeps doing a great job opening boxes and pacages,cutting string, rope, small wire and stripping wire.You can't go wrong with this knife.

Great knife for every day use at the job site, or around the house. I work in highway safety, and have always found a use for utility knives like this. I bought the Fastback, however, because of the easier, one hand opening, and the added safety feature of the knife locking in the CLOSED position as well. One hand opening comes in handy at my job much more often than you'd think, and knowing that the knife wont accidentaly open up in my pocket sealed the deal for me. Also, the "gut hook" feature for quickly cutting small rope/wires is a great feature, too.
